It was ice-cold and windy yesterday afternoon. At least we had a long time of sunshine and blue sky between snow showers†just while I photographed the beautiful Mareike. But the freezing was worth it ;-)
We knowing each other for years now and never did a photo shoot although we had wanted it for a long time. Recently she is studying far away and is not often in Hanover anymore. So we used the only time we had yesterday afternoon and went out in the very cold outside for a photo shoot.
When we started to set up the gear we stood in the middle of a snow shower. But we were lucky because the sun came out and shined for more than one hour…
Mareike was very brave and we got a lot of wonderful photos!
I used an Elinchrom Quadra A-Head with support of a Nikon SB-900 to make some areas of the bridge and the wood brighter (see last two photos below). Photos are slightly postprocessed in Lightroom…
[Update 03-07-2010: There is now a video from this photo shoot available]
